WHAT ONE COSTS
$65,100est. used (2023, 3 yr old)

Sticker was $105,105 in 2023. Out of production since 2023, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2023 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~15,219 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 13,535 lb + fresh water (106 gal, full) 884 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

GVWR (the sticker maximum)16,955 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~3,216 lb (21%)
Cargo capacity3,460 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 18 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 405's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
